The company commissioned a traditional public bath artist called Mizuki Tanaka to paint a mural. She used only four colors to do so, red, blue, yellow and white. In the video below, you can actually watch her at work on the mural, as the artist uses the famous Mount Fuji to tie German cars into Japanese tradition.

Public baths, called sento, have long been a part of Japanese culture, a fact known by pretty much anybody who's watched one of their movies. This one though is a little bit special, since it features a huge mural of an Audi R8 Spyder sportscar and lots of other small touches, like decorated curtains and wooden buckets.

If you happen to live in Japan and like Audis, the mural can be seen until October 31st at the Daini Hinode-Yu bath house in Tokyo, one of the few to still use natural hot spring water. It's open until 12.30AM and the entry fee is 460 year (about $4 or €3.5) per adult.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
